(KERA) When Erin Ragsdale stood in front of Collin County commissioners during a meeting in March, she was excited to talk about a new project geared towards supporting the growing Muslim community in North Texas.
EPIC City — a proposed development from the East Plano Islamic Center — would be centered around a mosque and include mixed-use buildings.
Ragsdale, one of the planners for the project’s corporate entity, told residents it wouldn’t be exclusive to the Muslim community. Everyone is welcome.
“Anybody who wants to buy a piece of land in this proposed masterplan community can buy one,” Ragsdale said. “To build a house, to open a business, to build a school, to build a church, it is open to everyone, and their vision is to build an inclusive community for everyone.”
